Everton's Romelu Lukaku has
described himself as one of the most gifted strikers in world football
after scoring 25 goals in all competitions for his Premier League club
last season.
Despite his form in front of goal Everton finished 11th and sacked
manager Roberto Martinez, although Lukaku still rates the season as his
finest in terms of individual achievement.
"I'm among the best. That's good. Personally I am happy," Lukaku said
in an interview with the June edition of World Soccer magazine. "I did
expect to produce a season of this calibre."
The 23-year-old is part of Belgium's squad for this month's European
Championship in France, where his team play Italy, Ireland and Sweden in
Group E.
Lukaku, who may face club mates Seamus Coleman, Aiden McGeady and
James McCarthy when Belgium play Ireland on June 18, said the prospect
of going head-to-head with them at the Euros had been part of the
dressing room banter at the club.
